Perhaps my observations were too severe but I still can't help thinking that when painters take so much trouble to achieve a point of balance the descending verticals of the hanging system can radically undermine the perception of the image. The 'space between' element is, as you point out, no doubt more a question of economics tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651605575992543944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-8020286048065092442008-10-29T18:24:00.000-04:002008-10-29T18:24:00.000-04:00Tony,I wouldn't presume to speak for the gallery, ...Tony,<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't presume to speak for the gallery, but my guess is that the rent on a midtown space--Fifth Avenue midtown at the corner of 57th Street--is in the high five figures a month. I'm guessing that for many galleries there, a spare installation is not an option. <BR/><BR/>As for the hanging devices, they're not my favorite either, but in the presence of these works, they become Joanne Matterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564594823192456546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-42360453833648597862008-10-26T08:16:00.000-04:002008-10-26T08:16:00.000-04:00I've got a great empathy for the works shown but f...I've got a great empathy for the works shown but from looking at the images shown I can't help making the observation that the way of hanging the works is not very respectful. Two bars descending; very little space between one work and another so that at looking at one painting one must have picked side-flickers from the adjacent. Let the works breathe.tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651605575992543944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-19001188601628571062008-10-17T13:01:00.000-04:002008-10-17T13:01:00.000-04:00Thanks, 13moons.

Ultimately it's not just enough to get out and vote. We have to get out and vote for Obama, and between now and November 4th, to work to persuade others to vote for him, too. I hope this humor, while appealing to the already converted, will help to noodge a few others into voting for Joanne Matterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564594823192456546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-49659576229719737952008-10-17T11:09:00.000-04:002008-10-17T11:09:00.000-04:00Love all the Palin/McCain stuff on your side bar. ...Love all the Palin/McCain stuff on your side bar.

Since I had recently posted work by Tadasky in "Centering" in connection with his show at Sideshow in Brooklyn, I went to look. Then the Anuszkiewiczs blew me away. I didn't write too much about this in my report, but the whole experience was Joanne Matterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02564594823192456546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-5922770993978470802008-10-16T09:32:00.000-04:002008-10-16T09:32:00.000-04:00I love the Duncan pieces...
